ANALYSIS OF FLAT SLAB BY USING ETABS (G+4)

Civil Engineering

Flat slabs are a type of construction that eliminates the usage of beams, which are commonly utilised in traditional ways of construction. The slab sits directly on the column, transferring the load from the slab to the columns and subsequently to the foundation. The term "Flat Slab" refers to a slab having walls. As a result, substantial bending moments and shear forces emerge around the columns. These forces cause concrete to crack and may cause the slab to fail, hence a bigger area at the top of the column, known as the column head/capital, is required. The purpose of this study is to show how flat plate/slab construction is used in India. Following the applications in buildings, a comparison of flat plate/slab structure designs based on Indian Standard 456:2000[1] is shown. Different countries have chosen different methods for designing flat slabs based on local constraints and material availability, and have provided guidance in their individual codes. The current study provides information on the parameters max strip moments, base shear, max storey displacement, and storey drift in accordance with IS 456:2000 code regulations. Flat slabs are commonly utilised in office buildings because of their low formwork costs, quick excavation, and simple installation.
